Rakan Himadeh
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, ISP Candidate
PTSD is fundamentally a nervous system injury; the body gets stuck in incomplete survival responses. SE helps the body gradually complete those responses, discharge stored survival energy, and return to regulation. This makes it especially suited for trauma resolution.

Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
I offer trauma-focused therapy, including EMDR where suitable, for adults affected by distressing experiences. We explore how these experiences affect you now and agree on treatment priorities. Assessment and preparation come before memory processing. Standard individual appointments are 90 minutes, with ongoing attention to readiness, current circumstances and support between sessions.

The Psychology Hub
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologists, General Psychologists, Educational & Developmental Psychologists, Mental Health and Disability Social Workers, Counsellors, Art Therapists
We provide trauma-focused therapy, including EMDR, for adults, adolescents and children, and we work with both single-incident and developmental or complex trauma. With younger children this is usually delivered through art, play and sandplay rather than talking. Pacing is negotiated rather than imposed: we would rather move slowly than take someone somewhere they are not yet resourced to go. WorkCover and CTP referrals are accepted, and art therapy is available for people who find words difficult.
